I use WHM / cPanel and also hold daily backups of my accounts, but these backups are very large and use too much disk space, my question is: is there some setting or some script to delete old backups?
For example, to automatically delete backups made by more than X days.
Where is it saving the backups? You can certainly delete them manually. There will be 3 folders: Monthly, Weekly, Daily. Just delete the ones you don't want.
Then in cPanel, limit backups by filling out the "Retain ___ Daily Backups".
Very Simple if you go to their Control panal have video look at this and solve your problems. otherwise use your common sence. When we delete any thing before remove we select the files then trash. i hope here is one option that you can use delete your files.
It is very easy to manage the server backups in windows system. Windows server backup will automatically manages the disk usage. The windows server backup will automatically reuse the space which is occupied by the older backups when creating a new backups.
Whenever I use to delete the older backups on server, I have to give a command to delete the older back-ups. The command you have to follow to delete the backups are:-
Delete shadows OLDEST <BackupStorageLocation>.
